Why Couples Argue

Share this:

Everyone wants to know why couples argue. They are supposed to love each other. They are supposed to be committed to each other’s happiness. And, they usually share the same interests and life. So, why do couples argue when everything says that they should be, well, perfect? It is a good question and there is likely going to be many, many different answers to it. But, when it all comes right down to it, couples argue because they are human and all humans are unique no matter how much they may be alike.

Understanding Marriage A Little More
No matter whom you are married to, no matter what type of relationship you say that you have, you will experience times when you and your loved one will argue. We are not talking about little things like whether or not to get a blue or a red car, but argue about where you are going, what you are doing with your lives as well as many other things. People argue for one reason. No matter what you think, everyone is different. It is nearly impossible to find two people that share everything the same, and if they say they do, they are probably lying to you. The bottom line is that you need to accept this.
One of the fundamentals for a marriage is the fact that all people need to realize that their perfect spouse is going to make mistakes from time to time. Couples argue because they have fundamental differences, some times they are bigger than others. When you accept this, you can begin to see just how you can correct these things in the first place.

Working Through Arguments
Start by laying the foundation. You both should feel like you can be open and honest with each other. You both should feel as if you can voice your opinion and that it does not need to be the same as your spouses. You should talk about this!

When an argument does come up, talk about it before it becomes the biggest mistake of your life. If you do not talk about things when they are small, they balloon into much more trouble. People tend to bottle up their emotions until they just feel like they are going to explode. The problem with this is that by this time the problem is at a level where it can likely not be fixed without some serious counseling.

Make a pact with yourself that you deserve to have your opinions, your thoughts and your needs met. That means that if you do feel that something is not the way it should be, you need to voice this opinion to your spouse. Now, that is not to say that you will not need to compromise, because that is the foundation from which people can work through arguments, but you do need to be heard.

Looking at why couples argue there can be many ways in which they see the light too. Stop fighting, saying hurtful things and get to the bottom of what it is that is truly bothering you. That is when you will be able to really understand why you and your spouse argue.
